The last hurdle will be to run Update Manager, which I had previously needed to stop, as whatever it loaded over the past few days caused the graphics to start in safe mode every time. Fortunately, I use Timeshift, so was able to roll back to a working installation. If this still causes problems, I'll let you know, but in the meantime can I say a big thanks for all the time you've given me in sorting this one out. This is an example of one of the big advantages that Linux has over other OS's - code that can be fixed and a community that's willing to help.
